The Wind-up Headboard Reading Light

Step 9 Remove turning handle from flashlight shell and attach to power supply.

I puzzled over this step for a while, because the winder handle was secured inside its half of the plastic flashlight shell with a type of lockwasher that did not want to give way.

I ended up cutting around it with my chop saw, then filing the edges into a circle.

I attached it to the winder axle with a few drops of super glue. I had to run out and buy the super glue. It was the only part of this project I hadn't found lying around, and thought about skipping this step, except I didn't want the handle to keep coming off every time I tried to wind it.
